December 2023

Kristy and Dave were an absolute dream to work with. After needing to pivot our wedding from New Zealand to Australia, and plan an international wedding within 7 months, Kristy and Dave took us under their wings and made the process seamless. They were always reachable, responsive, resourceful and so patient. Planning a wedding internationally is no easy feat but Kristy and Dave were our boots on the ground, sent us videos and provided an incredible list of other vendors for hair and makeup, entertainment, music, and more. Kristy and Dave have incredible taste and I felt so comfortable trusting them with our vision. The day was perfect!

Thank you Hanna & Richard, for what was a really special weekend for us to be part of in supporting you plan an Australian destination wedding for you and your guests. Your vision was beautiful and very heartfelt, the attention to detail for things like monogrammed napkins and custom designed logos were thoughtful touches, and we LOVED the Amalfi Coast Summer Welcome Dinner in Chesters. All the best to you both for your futures and we can't wait to reconnect when you're back in Australia xx

The team listened, guided and worked with us to make our wedding vision come to life. We knew from our first on-site meeting we found the dream location with the dream team! They connected us to our celebrant, florist and menu and were there every step of the way leading up to our wedding day. We highly recommend Mills & Franks. They helped us create our perfect intimate wedding, the team are very knowledgeable around all things wedding. They are not only amazing at everything they do but amazing people too.

Kristy and Dave are absolute world class wedding and event planners. They helped us not only to bring our actual dream wedding to life, but what was even more special is that we got to enjoy every moment of it without the stress and overwhelm we so often hear come with holding a wedding. No task was too big not too small. Our every desire was so genuinely and helpfully taken care of. We could not be more grateful for these two amazing people and simply cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you again with all our love Kristy & Dave. Byron & Cherie xoxo

Kristy and Dave looked after us during our wedding at Terrara House last year. Their unwavering support created an incredibly seamless experience before, during, and after our special day. Through their meticulous attention to detail and invaluable guidance, they transformed our weekend into an unforgettable and cherished memory. Working with them was a privilege and we are grateful to have continued our relationship. We couldn’t recommend working with them more.
